AU: Harry Potter and his family moved to the tiny town of Little Hangleton and into a Manor.
What most people don't know about his famous parents is that they neglected him, so in his loneliness he explores the house and finds a key and a doll that looks like him but in a black dress.
Yep, this is a Coraline AU with Voldemort as Other-Lover or just Lover instead of Other-Mother.

Narrator's POV
Walking through the garden, Harry enjoyed the crisp air, it was Christmas Eve after all.
Time passed differently in the world he now called home, sometimes seasons would last weeks or even just a day, the weather rarely changed from sunny but for the past few days, it had been chilly with a gentle snowing.
As a result, Harry wore a thick pastel pink dress and grey leggings with black boots, a pastel pink beanie and a grey scarf all inside a white jacket.
Barely visible on Harry's stomach, was his baby bump, where the eggs had been for just over a month, he was so happy he was carrying his third litter this year.
Whilst he walked, Hardy looked at the snowflakes, trying to see their patterns only to quickly learn that they were all identical unlike in the real world.
Beginning to him Christmas carols, Harry sat in the snow and began to play in the snow, building two snow people and big snow balls to be their eggs.

Watching the pregnant boy, was Lily Potter, who was pulling weeds across the garden wearing nothing to warm her from the cold.
For the past three months she had been forced to be a servant since the monster wasn't hungry after eating James.
So, she was stuck a servant until the monster became hungry again or the brat's eggs hatched.
And now, she couldn't escape since the monster had eaten her eyes and replaced them with plain black buttons.
She absolutely hated everything about Harry, if he hadn't been stupid and entered the door he wouldn't have gotten himself kidnapped and she and James would have never gone after him.
Speaking of Harry, Lily knew the boy had always been a stupid one, but she couldn't believe the boy became the monster's breeding bitch, he had been gone for less than a year and had had three pregnancies.
And just as she thought that, the monster came outside and passed when she was pulling weeds in the winter.

Harry was now making snow angels when a shadow covered him, he smiled, "Hi, Vol!"
Harry sat up and cuddled against his mate, "Do you like my snowmen?"
The eldritch creature glanced at the snowmen, not knowing whoever or not they were good by human standards, "It's very...unique."
That seemed to please his human mate who just cheered and continued to cuddle against him.
Voldemort held his mate, feeling his skin was cold to the touch, "Time to go back inside, you are cold."
The creature knew how to care for a humans needs with very few mistakes —like occasionally forgetting humans eat thrice daily unlike how he ate once every twenty years and as a result Harry goes hungry for a day or two until the creature remembers or hears Harry's body protesting the lack of food— so he knew humans could only get so cold before becoming sickly.
Harry seemed disappointed to hear it, but obeyed nonetheless and went inside with him and made a hot chocolate.
Sitting together on the couch, the creature reading and Harry sipping at his warm drink.
"Vol, I have a question?" Harry asked, breaking the silence
"Yes, love?" Voldemort asked
"Tomorrow is Christmas. Can we celebrate, please?" Harry asked
"What would celebrating entail?" The otherworldly creature asked
"A Christmas tree with ornaments and lights, and stockings filled with candy and presents under the tree. And making a gingerbread cookie-house and spending time together with our eggys as a family." Harry answered, thinking up the most basic Christmas he could
"I'll think about it." The creature answered
"Ok." Harry said, not thinking he was going to agree
Hours passed, and Harry went to bed after dinner with Vol laying in bed with him.
***
The following morning, Harry woke up with his mate and then went downstairs where Harry gasped: it looked like a winter wonderland!
Their in the center of the living room was a giant tree covered in silver and red ornaments and white lights with a pile of presents sitting under it.
By the fireplace there were stockings for them as well as their four eggs.
And in the kitchen was a cook book displaying the recipe for a gingerbread house.
Harry cheered and hugged him, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Vol kissed his forehead, "Of course, love, good mates get treats."
Harry smiled and pulled him to the kitchen, where they spent the next couple of hours making a cute gingerbread house complete with some gingerbread people.

Afterwards, Harry opened the presents and got baby things and jewelry.
And as their day began to wind down, they went into the eggs incubating room in the mirror and spent time with their babies.
Harry curled around the eggs, singing and speaking to them, telling them how much muma loved them and couldn't wait for them to hatch.
The creature simply watched his affectionate mate, seeing why his kind preferred human mates over any other species.
Most species on worlds other than Earth were like them: laid eggs, but they were so much harder to breed.
And, humans were so much easier to mentally break and reform than other creatures who were usually connected to a hive mind; which they first had to be separated from before the breaking could begin.
Eventually, Harry fell asleep by the eggs, looking adorable as he was picked up and carried to bed as Christmas cake to an end.
